A 62-year-old riding instructor in Milan was arrested following an investigation by the Milan Flying Squad, triggered by a complaint from the parents of a young girl. The inquiry uncovered multiple minor victims who were allegedly sexually abused by the instructor during riding lessons and related activities at the riding school. Some victims were interviewed in protected settings with psychological support.

The man is currently held under pre-trial detention, with charges aggravated by the breach of trust inherent in the instructor-student relationship. The case highlights serious concerns about safeguarding in equestrian training environments.
